Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 07/18/2022 2:21 pm I can seem to find a reference for a die crack for this date and mint mark. It stems from the rim to nose. Perhaps it's not a die crack. I'm not sure. Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 07/18/2022 2:23 pm Photos need to be as large as possible and cropped. I can hardly see the surface quality of this coin. My first impression is that it looks like a lamination issue. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/18/2022 2:50 pm Pretty much the same shot. You've cropped it, now enlarge it. Report this Post to the Staff

Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 07/18/2022 4:50 pm I'm trying to enlarge it. No luck so far. & Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19276 Posts	Posted 07/18/2022 6:26 pm I'm thinking lamination as well. Caution--enlarging a smaller, lower resolution image will not produce a large sharper image. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21673 Posts	Posted 07/18/2022 8:47 pm By enlarging the photo, you can see that it is a slight lamination, not a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 10:07 am I would agree that you have a buffalo with a delamination...doesn't appear to have disengaged from the coin...but need a better pic to be sure. KK Report this Post to the Staff
